Investigation of aqueous and organic co-solvents roles in fabricating seawater reverse osmosis membrane

open access: yes, 2022
The addition of co-solvents in aqueous or organic phases of interfacial polymerization is a feasible strategy to tune the performance of aromatic polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) membrane for brackish water desalination, however, limited progress

Structural insights into thyroid hormone transporter MCT8

open access: yesNature Communications
Thyroid hormones (THs), including T4 (3,5,3′,5′-tetraiodo-L-thyronine) and T3 (3,5,3′-triiodo-L-thyronine), play critical roles in regulating tissue development and basal metabolism.

Structural mechanisms of pump assembly and drug transport in the AcrAB–TolC efflux system

open access: yeseLife
Tripartite multidrug efflux pumps that span the cell envelope are essential for antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of two endogenous efflux complexes from Escherichia coli: a TolC–YbjP subcomplex at 3.56 Å

Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane modification via oxidant-induced dopamine polymerization for sustainable direct-contact membrane distillation

open access: yes, 2018
Porous hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have been extensively used in direct-contact membrane distillation (DCMD) processes. However, these PVDF membranes are vulnerable to membrane fouling and pore wetting in low surface tension ...

The road not taken: Less traveled roads from the TGN to the plasma membrane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
: The trans-Golgi network functions in the distribution of cargo into different transport vesicles that are destined to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Over the years, it has become clear that more than one transport pathway promotes plasma

Structural mechanism of bacteriophage lambda tail’s interaction with the bacterial receptor

open access: yesNature Communications
Bacteriophage infection, a pivotal process in microbiology, initiates with the phage’s tail recognizing and binding to the bacterial cell surface, which then mediates the injection of viral DNA.
